Even for remote jobs being in a similar time zone is important to avoid slowing down communication.
> If nuclear were far easier to make then every government would be far more authoritarian to prevent terrorist style nukes all the time. The average person would fully allow it after a few local nukes went off.
If a government could be taken out by a lone terrorist it might also result in no authoritarian governments.
> because capitalism means competition.
I think you’re confusing a system of private ownership of capital (capitalism) with free markets.
The difference between a healthy lifestyle and a bad one can be much more than that though, decades or even more if we consider habits like smoking.
Is this site LLM News or Hacker News
Wouldn’t that cause a lot of egress fees?
What’s the value of predictions if they’re not good enough to make decisions on?
Blaming the voters for being uneducated is distracting from the fact that the neoliberal consensus is what the voters are rejecting. I’ve been listening to variations of “there is no alternative” as the explanation for austerity for over 2 decades now while the 1% grows fatter. The left needs to stop playing by the rules of the neoliberals and start painting a better future than cuts after cuts.
> Bizarre there are still denialists in places like this.
“Places like this”? When did this site become a place of worship and blind faith?
> enabling people to use any search engine in Safari
You can forget about that for as long as Google pays over $20 _billion_ per year to stay the default.
> perhaps it is going to be more along the lines of models, variants, self hosting, etc.
Unfortunately those are also better discussed with LLMs.
I recently had to refresh on some algorithms and some manual coding for an interview where using LLM is forbidden. It was super fun, I forgot how fun solving software puzzles can be!
It’s unfortunate our industry has become so boring. Because our society values capital above all else, quitting my job to do something fun would relegate me to economical loser status. We really need a shift to the left in politics and a way to redistribute the productivity gains this technology allows.
Going to the office to have a remote meeting is pretty awful.
That’s an insecure design. The way we do it here is that you install an app and register your register number and payment card in it. Then when you drive in and out from the parking lot your license plate is scanned and you’re automatically charged. There’s only two providers so it’s not a huge hassle, if there was a single app per garage it would not really work from UX perspective.
No room for hostile social engineering.
Turkey, roast beef. It’s meat, isn’t it? Close enough.
I was going to ask why it’s not the first result in Google but the expired cert and invalid CN explains it.
> Maybe the new group will be productivity motivated rather than motivated by the love of tinkering with a single problem for years.
Sounds like salaries for mathematicians need to start going up if we stop paying them with fun.
> Exercise, for example, is bullshit make-work that only some subset of people are wired to enjoy for some reason (never worked out how, I'm gonna guess they're either wired to receive reward signal for this, or it's social activity; half of life's motivation is low-key sexual drive anyway). I don't. So I have to find whatever proxy that works for me.
I honestly think nobody enjoys the exercise itself. The real motivation is second order effects like becoming more appealing to other people.
You’re right. Let me break open my kids piggy bank and grab a few million.
The CEO did move to the US “to focus on the fastest growing market”. Usually that means that they start building an engineering org there and embracing a more US working culture.
Feels like eventually this company ends up being based there and no longer an “EU” company.
> The appropriate analogy for what's to come may look less like the anthill carelessly demolished to make room for a highway, than the domesticated worker ants from Tchaikovsky's "Children of Time".
Over 1% of US GDP is being allocated to the datacenter buildout. Have we already started getting domesticated or is this still just human capex?
Usually the security team mandates a zero CVE policy on all deployments and the organization complies.
I disliked the official app and decided I’m done with social media. Somehow still ended up back to it in form of HN. I’ve since checked some of the subreddits I spent time in and they’ve swung a lot towards the right with the quality of discourse dropping so much that I don’t think I would even want to go back. I’m too old to spend my days arguing with people on the internet in some echo chamber.
That variant would likely not even compile?
The new ChatGPT desktop app is a dumpster fire though, it can’t even scroll properly when streaming the answer.
> I don't think that anything you said is wrong, but I also think it's important to note that on a long enough timeline your odds of getting cancer are 100% regardless of the way you live.Most people just don't live that long.
“Most people just don’t live that long” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. If you have a healthy lifestyle you would need to live for multiple centuries to reach 100% likelihood.
> I call it the redditification of HN.
As one of the users that moved to HN when Reddit closed access to third party apps it’s also quite literally this. I apologize for any reduction in quality of discourse I might have caused.
Their handling of COVID was not proportional and caused a lot of harm. Not that the US president at the time did any better.
Cost is stable (or rising?), user-facing delivery is sameish, (some) engineers seem happier because they are allowed to gold-plate and prepare for future “human development of the hard-things”.
Is that a fair summary?
That’s surprising. Seems there is a niche for everything.
